Share a web map for use in Indoor Space Planner

Available for an ArcGIS organization licensed with the Indoors extension.

Indoor Space Planner allows you to assign people to individual spaces or activity-based work areas and define these work areas for hot desks or office hotels. The app must be configured to use a web map with either map image layers or feature layers, or a web map with a combination of both depending on your hosting environment. You can use ArcGIS Enterprise or ArcGIS Online to share your web maps based on your organization’s needs.

Web maps published to an Enterprise portal or ArcGIS Online for Space Planner provide a similar app experience but differ in the way the web maps are set up and shared. Sharing a web map to your Enterprise portal requires setting up branch versioning in your Enterprise geodatabase and enabling version management for the editable web layers when publishing. This is required by the Space Planner app to support space plan management.

Sharing a web map to ArcGIS Online only requires publishing feature layer-based web maps to support visualization and space plan management workflows. Consult your organization administrator before choosing an environment for deploying the app.

Note:

To host application services on an Enterprise portal, ArcGIS Indoors requires ArcGIS Enterprise 10.8.1 or later. Check with your system administrator to ensure your ArcGIS Enterprise installation is fully configured and free from issues before sharing.

Share a web map to Enterprise

Sharing a web map for use in Space Planner to an Enterprise portal is a multistep process. When you finish authoring the maps, you'll have two maps to share in ArcGIS Pro: one with branch versioned datasets and the other with the base datasets. You'll share and combine these maps in the portal web map viewer.

Prerequisites

To use the Reference registered data option to share your maps, you must register the data store with your ArcGIS Enterprise portal’s federated servers. To create a data store for your geodatabase, register the data store before publishing using the Manage registered data stores pane.

Note:

If you don't register your geodatabase as a data store, an analyze error message appears when you publish the layers as referenced data. Click the error message on the analyzer to create a data store.

Share a versioned feature layer for use in Space Planner

The publishing process for versioned data is the same as for any web layer except you must enable the version management capability for the feature layer.

1. Open the map with the versioned feature layer in ArcGIS Pro.
2. Click the Share tab.
3. In the Share As group, click the Web Layer drop-down arrow and choose Publish Web Layer.

   The Share As Web Layer pane appears.

4. Complete the steps to share a web layer and share branch versioned data as a feature layer.
5. Click the Configuration tab in the Share As Web Layer pane.
6. In the Capabilities section, check the Version Management check box.

   This is required for the feature layer to participate in versioning workflows.

7. Click the Configure Pooling button near the top of the pane.
8. In the Instance Type section, choose Dedicated Instance.

   Note:

   Shared instance pools don't support version management.

9. Click Publish.

Share a web map for use in Space Planner

When sharing a web map, there are several options on the Share tab. By default, the map is shared as a web map with map image layers; however, ArcGIS Indoors requires additional steps.

Note:

It’s recommended that you share a web map as a map image layer to provide support for symbology scales, advanced cartography, and performance and scalability. If you share an Indoors web map as map image layers, these layers are positioned above the Indoors map image layers in the table of contents of the output web map. If you require more precise control over the drawing order of the map’s contents, share the web map as a feature layer instead of a map image layer.

Share a web map containing map image layers

Complete the following steps to share a web map that contains map image layers:

1. Sign in to your Enterprise portal in ArcGIS Pro.
2. If your map contains a range slider, disable it.
3. Share a web map containing map image layers.

   Tip:

   For Select a Configuration, ensure that the Reference Registered Data: Exploratory option is chosen.

Share a web map containing feature layers

To share a web map that contains feature layers, complete the following steps:

1. Sign in to your Enterprise portal in ArcGIS Pro.
2. Follow the steps to share a web map containing a feature layer.

   Note:

   For Select a Configuration, ensure that the Copy all data: Exploratory option is chosen.

Combine layers in your Enterprise portal

Follow the steps in your Enterprise portal organizational account to add the versioned web feature layer to your web map and complete your web map configuration.

Share a web map to ArcGIS Online

You can share your web map to ArcGIS Online for use with the Space Planner app with no additional steps needed to publish a web map to support plan management capabilities. When publishing a web map to ArcGIS Online, the only available configuration that copies the data to a server is to copy all data.

Share a web map with hosted feature layers

Complete the following steps to share a web map that contains hosted feature layers:

1. Open the Space Planner map authored for ArcGIS Online.
2. Connect to ArcGIS Online.
3. Follow the steps to share a web map containing feature layers.

   Note:

   For Select a Configuration, choose the Copy all data: Editable option.

Configure a web map for Space Planner to complete configuration of your web map.

Confirm the web map was shared

If you shared a web map to your Enterprise portal, you will have either a map image layer or a series of feature layers supporting it, depending on the option you chose in the Share panel. For ArcGIS Online, you will have a hosted feature layer-based web map.

Tip:

It’s a good practice to sign in to the organizational account that was used to share the web map and verify that the map displays correctly in the map viewer.
